Drink of the Week for May 23rd, 2003: Gay Pirate

What we had to say

A hearty Drinknation cheers to the mysterious reader known as Shawn for this week's drink. Heh heh... gay pirate. It sure is good. Not many people know this, but before we devoted ourselves (ie. sometimes we get up before noon) to Drinknation, we ran the largest booty-smuggling fleet of scurvy sea vessels on the West Coast. In fact, legend has it that there is an island where we stored all our ill-gotten gains, and to this day it remains undiscovered, with untold riches lying in wait. Riches might be an exaggeration, since the only thing we ever hoarded was dryer lint, as we were going to start edryerlint.com and make a fortune during the dotcom boom. It almost worked too, except we overslept on the day we were supposed to meet with our VC's, and they gave the money to our competition, idryerlint.com instead.

True story.

So instead, we drink tasty beverages and mail them to you. Not a bad tradeoff. One day maybe we'll share the secret of our most fabled and enigmatic recipe... the Lintini.
